(Sturgeon Bay, WI) June 30 – The IMCA Sport Mods will be in the spot light on Poh’s Corner Pub & Stauber Electric night at Prestige Yacht Coatings ThunderHill Raceway this Saturday July 3. Time permitting we will have driver intros for the Sport Mod feature.
Weekly Notes:
Tom Stark captured his first IMCA Sport Mod win, but Tom’s racer never made into victory lane. As he pulled into the infield flames erupted from under the hood. The power steering hose broke spraying fluid all over the headers, which ignited. His car also suffered a cut left rear tire, so it was pure luck he even finished the race.
Defending Champion Mike Pierrard won the IMCA Stock Car feature. His first of the season. Mike then headed back to his hometown of Green Bay where he packed his luggage and boarded a plane to Georgia. Mike is being relocated by his employer Georgia-Pacific, to Georgia for the remainder of the summer. Mike will be using some vacation for a few select nights of racing.
Former IMCA Hobby Stock Champion Keith “the kicker” Kickbusch made his return to the division after a 3 year hiatus, he also returned in the same car that won him the 2006 & 2007 titles. Kickbusch who had run sport mods for the last 2 seasons had sold all his equipment and had been spending more time on the lake than at the track. The car is currently owned by Marcus Moede. Moede had the car sitting and was looking for a driver, so the deal was made. “I’ve known Keith a long time and I know he won’t tear my equipment up.” “We pieced the car together with old spare parts, so it’s definitely a low budget ride” Said car owner Moede. It’s uncertain how many nights Kickbusch will race. “I’m just happy to be racing again” stated Kickbusch.
